Saturday, September 19th **REVISED Team 13 Route**

Running an "Erie" marathon on the "13th" might spook some, but not a BOR member! Congrats Aaron on the BQ run on Sunday in Erie, PA, all your hard work paid off! Congrats also to all the finishers of the Ironman Wisconsin on Sunday, what a day!

Looked like a successful recon mission by the group that headed to Perry County Saturday morning for the Celina Challenge preview run, despite a minor Starbucks hangup. Get signed up for this one if you haven't already, it's a bargain!   http://indiancelinachallenge.com/

                  

There are a couple of upcoming marathon/half marathons in which a pretty good size group plan to attend. The Marshall Marathon in Huntington, WV on November 1st and the Route 66 Marathon in Tulsa, OK on November 22nd. If you have interest in adding one of these to your race list comment below or in the Band of Runners group on Facebook for more information.

Good Luck this weekend to those heading North for the Air Force Marathon, and on the homefront something for everyone, the Spirit Crusher, Brewbeque Run, Race for Recovery, Chandler Day 5k, Walk to End Alzheimer's and the Rugged Maniac, lots to do on Saturday!

It will be hard to beat last weekends weather for running, will the fall like conditions stick around? Team 13 sets up for it's longest run and last before the taper on Saturday morning, 11 miles at 7:00am from VECTREN. 

Also below is a 5 mile Pre Team 13 route if you so choose, 6:00am start from the Y.

Saturday, September 12th **UPDATED**

It's finally here, time to air up the balls ..(all the way), pop the tailgate and bust out the team gear! Last Saturday seemed more like middle of July...but a hot, humid morning would not stand in the way of the BOR and Team 13! Great run by all, top ten finishes and lots of age group trophies in the second race of the series, the YMCA 15K, a tough distance and brutal conditions. Hopefully the weather will be more fall like for the final leg in October. Congrats also to those who took part in another hot and hilly one, the Heartland 1/2 in Jasper.

\

Now we head out West for the Pocotello Marathon! Congrats to Laura, Ellen, Ted & Michelle W. on a great race, and new state for most and a 2nd in age group trophy for Laura! Sounds like a beautiful and tough course and one to keep in mind if your looking to add Idaho to your list.

Sunday morning brought another hot day, another marathon and more age group trophies! Looked like everyone had a great race and a great time at the Tupelo Marathon, the birthplace of Elvis.  5:00 am start, no problem for these ladies, age group trophies all around! Everyone of you continue to inspire and amaze.

Good Luck and safe travels to those heading to Grand Rapids on Saturday and to Erie, PA for the Erie Marathon at Presque Isle on Sunday, and to the Triathletes heading to Madison for Ironman Wisconsin on Sunday, we will be glued to the internet for updates all day!
